In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne chats with Nico Trinkhaus, a fine art travel photographer and founder of PhotoClaim, about the pervasive problem of image theft and the realities of copyright protection. Nico shares his personal journey from hobbyist to professional, including the eye-opening moment when he discovered his photos being widely stolen and sold as souvenirs without his permission. The conversation explores the differences between copyright laws in the US and Europe, the challenges photographers face in enforcing their rights, and practical advice for those who discover their images have been misused. Nico also highlights how changes in licensing and the prevalence of stock photography have affected the industry, and he offers a glimpse into emerging issues around AI and copyright. As a bonus, listeners get a chance to win a premium subscription to LocationScout, a valuable resource for planning photography shoots.
